I agree to a very small extent bout the overlap, no it's not 100% the same market, but I would wager its 80% for sure. The academic, military and industrial markets have jumped all over the ipad, you only have to read the stories about pilot programs using ipad only in schools and unis, the military in the uk using the ipad to train soldiers, mercedes adopting the ipad for their stores, all sorts of private apps being developped for said and other need. And of course there's anecdotal evidence, ie. the people we hear privately that have bought an ipad, there too the ipad has largely covered the traditional pc tablet market. And why wouldn't it to honest? Legacy apps on prior devices would be the only reason, but other than that it's slimmer, fast, lasts longer, has a better screen, and it's lighter amongst other things.
